* Unlike previous Strax Field Reports, this instalment was only made available for viewing in the UK, likely due to the use of footage from previous episodes. It has since leaked to the US. | * Unlike previous Strax Field Reports, this instalment was only made available for viewing in the UK, likely due to the use of footage from previous episodes.

* The numbers in Strax's field report 11/13 seem to indicate the Eleventh Doctor out of thirteen incarnations, not regarding the displacement in number caused by the War Doctor and [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]], or refers to the number in a literal sense, being his self-designated name as "Eleven", and "13" being that he is the last of his regeneration cycle. "TCX" appears to be a way of saying "This coming Xmas", referring to the airing of ''The Time of the Doctor'' on Christmas. | * The numbers in Strax's field report 11/13 seem to indicate the Eleventh Doctor out of thirteen incarnations, not regarding the displacement in number caused by the War Doctor and [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]], or refers to the number in a literal sense, being his self-designated name as "Eleven", and "13" being that he is the last of his regeneration cycle.

* The later cinema screening of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', included an introduction similar in format to this Strax Field Report, also featuring Strax's fellow [[Paternoster Gang]] members [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], where Strax humorously recounts the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]] to Sontar, making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted regeneration, before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the new Doctor]]. | * The later cinema screening of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', included an introduction similar in format to this Strax Field Report, also featuring Strax's fellow [[Paternoster Gang]] members [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], where Strax humorously recounts the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]] to Sontar, making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted regeneration, before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the new Doctor]]. | ||
* Strax's comment about the [[Sixth Doctor]] perishing from a bump on his cranium refers back to a long-standing myth and misconception-turned-in-joke that the Sixth Doctor was killed by hitting his head on the TARDIS console, as [[Colin Baker]] was ejected from the role unceremoniously and declined to film his regeneration on-screen. Viewers were left to draw their own conclusions, and this became the popular assumption. His real cause of regeneration was explored in the 2005 novel ''[[Spiral Scratch]]'' and in the [[2015 (releases)|2015]] audio anthology ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure]]'', specifically the final story of the anthology, ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]''. | * Strax's comment about the [[Sixth Doctor]] perishing from a bump on his cranium refers back to a long-standing myth and misconception-turned-in-joke that the Sixth Doctor was killed by hitting his head on the TARDIS console, as [[Colin Baker]] was ejected from the role unceremoniously and declined to film his regeneration on-screen.
